Dan Nailen's Lounge Act: Red Butte Garden Summer Season 2013

Apr 12th 2013

Once again, Utah's best summer concert venue has a stellar, diverse lineup, and this year it includes a whopping 28 shows.

When I look at the lineup, I'm immediately drawn to a three-night season-closing blast that includes The Black Crowes, Neko Case and Earth, Wind & Fire--three of the most consistently great live acts I've ever seen. Among the other highlights? The previously announced David Byrne and St. Vincent show, a rare Salt Lake City appearance for Steely Dan, and return engagements by the likes of Trombone Shorty, Michael Franti and Brandi Carlile. Country fans will be pleased with the inclusion of Dwight Yoakam, Old Crow Medicine Show and Merle Haggard, while John Prine and Tony Bennett lend a considerable bit of class to the proceedings.

Tickets go on sale for Red Butte Garden members on April 29, and for the general public on May 6, and are available via the Red Butte Garden Website.
